re: Vilma & McElroy favor Fromm over Stidham

Georgia leads Auburn, and most other teams, in nearly every defensive category. If you want to put down Georgia, try something important. Like scoring defense. Oops, Georgia is 3rd in the country. How about total defense? Oops, we're 4th. Sacks allowed? Nope. We're 10th. Try some other defensive stat where Auburn is in the top 10. You won't find one.

The fact that you've played the four worst offenses in the SEC and we didn't might have factored into that a little.

Looking at our only two common opponents, Mizzou and MSU, and you performed marginally better in total defense in both games (28 yds better against Mizzou, 71 better vs MSU), and split in scoring defense (gave up 14 more to Mizzou and 7 less to MSU).

I think one could make the case that we would be somewhat better than you in most, if not all of those categories had we swapped schedules.
